Comitti and Walpole British Luxury

Many of you may find this site to be quite interesting and also rather inspiring http://www.thewalpole.co.uk/ . Walpole British Luxury is dedicated to the promotion of all of our most iconic national brands and by default also provides something of an insight into the current state of classic British design.


Comitti are pleased to announce that we will be displaying some of our most iconic products to a select gathering of journalists and industry pundits later in June. We will report further on this next month and look forward to this highly prestigious publicity for our clocks.

British Railway Clocks



Great Western Railway Clock c1870

Here is an interesting site dedicated to antique British railway clocks. Some of the designs have strong similarities to the Comitti Victorian Wall Clock and others. Railway clocks are particularly popular with collectors and thematic designers not to mention railway enthusiasts and heritage railway organisations. You can see that many of the clocks employ a particularly robust design with very interesting and often quite stout hands to complement heavy and bold face markings; these also include 24 hour scales. The site has clocks from all of the major pre-nationalisation companies along with early British Railways designs.
